nebjamino 0 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi Guys, I am just putting together a trip with my Dad that was going to include a day trip to Shizukuishi in Iwate Ken. Looking on the English website on the trailmap on the far right there is a mountain serviced by a Gondola. On the Japanese trail map on the Japanese website that whole area isn't displayed. Is this a recent development? Had anyone noticed that the Gondola is no longer mentioned? (Sorry if this has been convered before) nebjamino. P.S I have links but I don't think I'm allowed to post them. Link to post Share on other sites

nebjamino 0 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi SJ David, Yes. That is the one. From what I'm reading they stopped using that Gondola in March 2008. From what I was reading, they have removed 1 Gondola, stopped using another and stopped using a J-bar, if I'm reading it right. It's a shame. Been looking at Wikipedia and they had this too add I'm trying to talk about this one, that was just stopped this season. 雫石ゴンドラ 6名 3227m 毎秒5メートル 1989年運転開始。旧雫石第二ゴンドラ。現在高低差日本一。2012~13シーズンは運転を休止している。 This one was stopped back in 2008. 雫石第一ゴンドラ 6名 3531m 毎秒5メートル 1984年運転開始。2008年廃止。旧雫石ゴンドラ。 開業当時日本最長。高低差は引退まで日本一だった。 Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Poking around, looks like that gondola was taken out of service at the end of the 2007/2008 season. Edit: Haha, never mind, you've already found the same info! Link to post Share on other sites
nebjamino 0 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 If I'm up near Appi Kogen, does anyone have any resorts to recommend for a day trip? Or should I just stick with Appi? Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted January 23, 2013 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 23, 2013 Well, we would obviously much prefer that you contact us via email or PM and ask us offline rather than go ahead and post something.... and then ask us if it's ok! Apart from the fact that we might not even see it if it is not directly asked of us.... Link to post Share on other sites

nebjamino 0 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 I think I'm just getting a bit carried away. I was literally just about to book some near-by accommodation and then I was really shocked to realise the changes in what lifts are open. Link to post Share on other sites
